Purcell acknowledges Rese's letter received by Alphheus White and, confiding in rese's protestations of friendship, he gives him answers to his proposals., 1. He fears that White is not going to finish the building, outraging the community by leaving his pledge unfulfilled. The building is a wreck -- roof, walls, floor, furnace, the new oven, the rafter and joists, the new kitchen. They could not get the place insured as the company came to warn them if they built a fire in it. This is White's doing and leaves Purcell insolvent and a beggar. General Findlay wants $800 for the now-filled graveyard. The German church has left him deeply in debt; it cost $1800, and he was billed before he came there. Cassily has not paid Purcell all he claims he has and has a claim for wood delivered somewhere else. Dempsey has nearly paid half. Father Anthony Ganilh charges Rese with embezzling the funds left by Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick and refuses to give up his executorship until Rese accounts for them to his satisfaction. Ganilh has just paid counsel for the purpose of entering suit. He has been in Cincinnati a month without coming to see Purcell. Under these circumstances Rese should come down and assist Purcell by counsel, deliberation and money, if Rese sees that without Purcell's fault there is claim against Rese's appropriation of the money or if Rese can get him aid from Vienna. Poor Grandmother Scott recovers from her bruises. She had a narrow escape. Judge Piatt has made his first communion; so has Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. Purcell has baptized the children of Colet the undertaker. Many other converts have joined the Church. Mr. and Mrs. McHenry are going to live in Dayton., P.S. Father James Reid wrote last spring to the Pope and has obtained a place for his nephew at Propaganda. His brother Bernard is dead. :: III-2-g A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
